Chapter 11.9, Problem DQ
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The relative amount of trans-tetrol to cis-tetrol at pH12 larger than at pH 3; the reason has to be discussed.

Concept Introduction:

Epoxides: are more reactive than simple ethers due to three membered ring strains. Reaction of epoxides with nucleophiles opens the ring by which the ring strain is relieved.

Ring opening: Ring opening of epoxide takes place by acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of an epoxide.

Acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of an epoxide via SN2 process:
